I'm in a tight spot here. I've been sick as a dog, coughing so hard that it's strained my back. Last night while breaking down pallets I managed to make it so much worse. I've hurt my back before at home and had to miss a week of work. Now I've been told I'm in for a drug test and may have to be let go for missing to...

We used to close at 9, then we got a bunch of new managers and they decided "hey, we have workers in the deli til 10! Wouldn't it be great if we kept the deli open for customers until 10? Never mind the fact that it's impractical to have people clean the slicers only for a customer to walk up at 9:57 and as...

Does anyone else have a back room that's so cluttered and unorganized that you can't find anything because it's buried, hidden, damaged, or just in a pile of rubble? Does anyone else think elms is designed for a well maintained, smooth operating, well ran store, and not the fiasco of a back room. does...

I've been working at Kroger for only about 2 weeks now. I like to think I do a good job. I don't talk back to bosses, I'm nice to both coworkers and employees, and I do checking, bagging, and closing. However the past few days my work environment has been HELL. We have a supervisor who acts like she's a dicta...

What the hell. I went shopping at Sprouts yesterday and needed a few items from Kroger that I didn't get a Sprouts. I parked, walked up to the store and saw the meat dept. guy standing in front of Kroger on his smoke break. So I stopped to talk with him. I talked for a few minutes then noticed something...

Hi all. New to the forum, and Kroger. I just got hired in last weekend. I'm working front end, and it's fine so far. But I'm no stranger to retail so I know there is bound to be all sorts of things that are going to be not so great. I was just wondering if any of you had any advice for me about Kroger or front end @ K...

I am pretty sure the answer to this is no but I want some more opinions on this. Basically I have a few coworkers that are well below me on seniority and they are starting to request days off a couple weeks out from now. If they are given those days off I will be forced to work their shifts as I know what the peop...

I make $8.35 an hour. That is only 20 cents higher than my state's minimum wage. I just checked my pay stub on express hr for tomorrow and I see that my dues have risen to $9.18 a week! That is ridiculous. I plan on only working four hour a week once the fall comes because of school but now I think I'll just quit...

Lately its been kind of implied that if I can't consistently stay on for an hour or more after my set working hours then I might not be employed much longer. Such as "We can only keep on people that work later, so you'll be working later right?", or "If you keep doing this (not being able to...

I work in central division. Last night I saw a notice of a new reward program. It says it was started because employees had stated that there were no programs to reward hard workers. After reading what would qualify you for the rewards, it seems like it will just be one more program to reward the people wh...

The only thing I can find in the Union book states that I can occasionally work day shifts, while maintain my night pay (not talking night premium). They have me coming in at 4am, which isn't as bad as when I was coming in at 11pm-12am, but I'd still like to not have to work 5 days at that hour. I've heard I can...

Is it worth it to transfer divisions? I am moving down south and am contemplating transferring instead of quitting. I only make 8.70 an hour for working there for years. I work customer service. I would be working at Harris Teeter because they don't have Krogers down there. Would it be worth the troubl...
